Blofeld 1.0.3

The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer, a classic in its own right, has now made its way to the iPad platform, complete with AUv3 support for various host applications such as Logic, GarageBand, Cubasis, and AUM.

The Blofeld app not only allows users to explore its deep sonic capabilities but also offers control over hardware synths and is compatible with existing Blofeld soundsets. This makes it a valuable addition for both new users and those familiar with the hardware.

In terms of sound generation, the Blofeld plugin excels at delivering the characteristic fat and rich tonal quality that has garnered a dedicated following among Waldorf enthusiasts. Its powerful wavetable engine underpins a broad spectrum of intense and expressive sounds, reminiscent of other acclaimed Waldorf instruments such as the Q, Q+, Microwave, Microwave II/XT, and the flagship Wave.

This innovative synthesis system draws inspiration from the groundbreaking PPG synthesizers of the early 1980s. The first encounter with the Blofeld often evokes memories of those distinctive edgy, assertive, or bell-like timbres that have contributed to numerous chart-topping hits since the PPG era.
